Headquarters evidence
Artefact Headquarters 19 rue Richer 75009 Paris, France
The research candidate suggested 'EU headquarters', but its exact quote could not be reproduced from the cited current source; the claim remains unpromoted.
Evidence boundaries
Organisation listings identify a reviewed canonical record. Headquarters is independent of incorporation, registered offices, ownership, hosting and runtime. Model listings show an association in the source register; they do not by themselves establish model creation, current API availability, hosting location or infrastructure ownership.
Profile note
A global data/AI consultancy headquartered in Paris, not a model lab. It deploys third-party frontier models (Anthropic Select partner since June 2026) and funds an academic Research Center. Recorded for completeness with an explicit caveat: no verified first-party production model. Its own site blocked automated fetching (BunkerWeb bot detection), so this record relies on secondary sources.
